Administrators should check that they know the answers to the following:
Task | Advice/Resources | |
1. | Do I have to produce anything as part of the Planning Round? If so, what and by when? | Your Finance Manager |
2. | Do I know what parts of my department's Chest budget I am responsible for? | Your Finance Manager |
3. | Do I know the major non-Chest financial areas within my department? | Monthly financial reports provide an indication and your Finance Manager can advise. |
4. | Do I have budgets for the streams of non-Chest activity in my department? | Your Finance Manager |
5. | Where PIs expect my support in monitoring their grants, have they copied me in on grant awards and contracts details? | ROO can provide details if necessary. |
6. |
Do I review financial reports regularly? It is best practice to do this at least monthly. Some examples of areas to look at include. Stipends: Has the Other teaching budget been exceeded?

Non recurrent grants:

Are there sufficient resources to cover the cost (plus associated FWP overheads if appropriate) of all posts funded on non-Chest money? |
